A time for Thanksgiving

In a region savaged by Sandy, Thanksgiving 2012 might be an afterthought to many families. Most of us lost power, many lost homes, a few lost loved ones.

Yet from small silver linings to a renewed embrace of family, there are many reasons to be thankful.

Please tell us in 200 words or less what you are thankful for, how you plan to celebrate and whether superstorm Sandy will make a difference. Submissions can include a photo. We'll share your stories with the community in the days ahead.
